Arrows

Hello,
I would like the arrows from a task to another task arrive at the left of the task and not on the top of the task as it is the case now. How could I achieve that?

Regards.

RE: Arrows

Hi Antoine

Project does its best to draw the arrows to reflect the relationship between two tasks. Depending on the zoom level the arrow head can be drawn slightly offset from the start of the successor task.

If you would prefer the arrowhead to clearly point to the start of the successor task go to the Format menu then choose Layout. At the top of the dialogue box in the links section choose the middle format. This ensures that arrow heads point to the start of bars but will result in the connection lines being stepped in order to make the arrows fit.

Hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further quesitons.

Kind regards,
Andrew

MS Project tip:

Formatting Bar Text

To display notes or resource initials on the Gantt chart bars, choose Format, Bar Styles and the Text tab. Select the position you want to show the text i.e. Top or Inside etc, then choose the field name you are looking for from the drop down arrow. Type the first letter of the name to get quickly to the top of the letter range. Click OK.
